beer making instructions and suppliesHops, The Brewer's Spice Rack
   Hops are a flower which was introduced to brewing about 1000 years ago but have only been in common use for 200 years.  The fact that hops are flowers tells us everything we need to know about handling them.
   Hops are delicate and impart the necessary bitterness needed to balance the sweetness of the malt.  They provide the spice flavor in beer and the aroma which prepares the taste buds.

BREW INFUSER $34.95 
Here's a terrific new product that will make dry hopping beer and oaking wine a breeze. Constructed of stainless steel,  the 11.5” x 1.5” mesh “tube” holds about four ounces of pellet hops.  It is convenient, sanitary, and dishwasher safe.
HOP BAG $0.40
Single use 5" x 11" muslin sock stretches to allow plenty of contact with boiling wort but holds most of the hop fiber for easy removal.  Recommended for use with pellet and leaf hops.
